“We’ve groomed you for so long, Levi, and even made you the Crown King! To think you could come around and try to steal credit for yourself!”

Those in attendance were uproarious, and saw to it that their dismay with Levi was made known.

The notion that the Four Basilisks killed the Northern Demon became the canonical narrative ever since the four had been proclaimed as heroes by the billions of people in Erudia.
